title: 'maskedcauses: Likelihood Models for Systems with Masked Component Cause of
  Failure'
version: 0.10.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.maskedcauses
abstract: Maximum likelihood estimation for series systems where the component cause
  of failure is masked. Implements analytical log-likelihood, score, and Hessian functions
  for exponential, homogeneous Weibull, and heterogeneous Weibull component lifetimes
  under masked cause conditions (C1, C2, C3). Supports exact, right-censored, left-censored,
  and interval-censored observations via composable observation functors. Provides
  random data generation, model fitting, and Fisher information for asymptotic inference.
